Yeah……..exactly. What he just said.

[Get Real!]

This is your 'only solution' is it ? Well I hate to burst your bubble but there is kind of a glaring problem with engineering a virus to attack and kill another virus as I see it. Viruses do not work that way. In order to replicate and spread a virus needs a host. They do not have the means to do so without such a host. That is one of the key features that makes them a virus and not some other kind of organism. A virus can not replicate and spread by infecting another virus.

Well of course! That’s why I said…

“Ideally, it would have to be highly contagious, cause minimum damage to Man…”

Man has to be the host, but I’m hoping it’ll be possible to design a “friendly” virus, so to speak.

...it is worth noting, i suppose, that where the vaccine has been introduced in significant quantities, 90% of new infections treated at hospitals are un-vaccinated patients.

I don’t believe government stats on the matter because…

If as much as ONE doubly-vaccinated person can catch it (ie: DT that we know of) then you have a problem! It is not providing immunity so the figures presented can’t be correct.

Their aim is to encourage vaccination even if they have to lie.

The delta and lambda variants are around 60% more infectious than previous variants. This is the single biggest factor leading to rises in numbers testing positive. NSW / Sydney are on a knife edge right now and if the recent outbreak of the delta variant is not shut down in the next few days it will rip through the largely unvaccinated populations there.

Doubt it.

They got their shit together here down under in terms of controlling it.


The policy here is eradication. Lockdown is extended.

No one can leave hone except essential workers, and for essential supplies and exercise.

Sydney is far far from a knife edge. Today community cases there were 27. The rest were overseas acquired, or expats.

Sydney has a population of 5.5 million. They have tested over a million people in the last week.

And let’s face it. The vaccination would make little difference. I remain unconvinced in any case. Cyprus is pushing 1000 new infections a day with high vaccination levels.

And back to the actual current known facts.

NSW reported 38 new local cases, up from 27 a day earlier, with 11 of those having spent time in the community while infectious.

Every outbreak starts with a just a handful of cases. I sincerely hope your authorities over there, using measure you previously slated and now laud, do manage to contain this outbreak of a variant that more contagious than any we have seen to date. I really do sincerely hope this turns out to be the case but hope and optimism and bluster (or out of date or dodgy selective stats) will have no effect what so ever on the virus. It will do what its will do regardless of any of these things. NSW is at the most dangerous and critical point it has been since this crisis started.

And let’s face it. The vaccination would make little difference. I remain unconvinced in any case. Cyprus is pushing 1000 new infections a day with high vaccination levels.

That you think the vaccine would make little difference to the outcome should this outbreak of delta variant not be contained just shows once more what a twat you really are. imho and with all due respect, which is almost none because that is what is due to you and your inane postings here over a decade or more.

Our government is full of shit!

First they boast of having vaccinated around 600,000 people, then they subsidize summer holidays, meanwhile infections soar, and then they claim that the vast majority of infections are from the few non-vaccinated... who get no holiday, can't go here, can't go there!

This is not making any sense!

Unvaccinated of course because in fortress Australia more it seems have died from the vaccine than Covid. So, why take the risk? The logic's impeccable. Sadly, a self-fulfilling tragedy in the making.

It will all end in tears.

We are literally very far from a tragedy with 20 to 30 community cases a day.

The reality down here is we do not need to hurry or have a particularly big urgency on vaccines. Sydney is in lockdown with a handful of cases. 10 people in ICU. The risk is an acceptable one for the moment.

We have not had a community Covid death this year.

So it’s a case of, we can afford to wait. And the big advantage is that we get to see the true efficacy in many countries, and the vaccine related complications beforehand.

It’s not COVOD that we worry about down here. It’s the government measures. Whilst you guys are travelling and partying on the beach, we just don’t have the freedom to do the same. We can’t travel, nor even have visitors over to our house or have a barbecue. We are not allowed to gather at funerals, have weddings etc with more than 10 people.

Children are even forbidden from seeing dieing parents. That’s true.

Even at 38 or even 50, we are very far from a tragedy. Very far.

We are not on a knife edge. We are doing very well, even in Sydney.

We understand every tragedy starts with a handful of cases. But we also start very early and efficiently with the most draconian of lockdown measures as soon as we detect 2 or 3 community infections. In fact the government acts as soon as they get 1 community infection and people are locked down. So the virus has limited opportunity to spread.

These kind of snapshop stats, taken out of their context and without the application of thought are in fact dangerous.

How so I hear you ask ? Well I will show you.

In the UK last week people died in road traffic accidents. And some of the were WEARING SEAT BELTS !! In fact the MAJORITY of those that died in road traffic accidents in the UK last week were wearing seat belts.

So now along comes a twat, lets say for arguments sake an Australian twat. They will think and then go around proclaiming - the evidence shows seat belts DO NOT WORK. We should NOT use seat belts. Why does the government tell us how many people died in rtas but not tell us how many of those were wearing seat belts and how many were not ? What are they trying to hide ?

See where such stats and a bit of twatery can lead ? That is exactly what we have seen here from our resident twat.
